I stayed with it for other reasons, but my primary motivation was cost +20%.

I'd also add that I won't bother schlepping all my own gear when cruising. I'll bring mask, snorkel(for snorkeling), fins, booties, dsmb, bottom timer and reef gloves in a small dive bag and leave the rest at home. For me, the dives are simple enough that it's not worth the extra hassle to bring it.

He seems to be objecting to the marketing, not the fin, which he stated he has no experience with. At least, that's what I got out of it. Remedial ESL, maybe? ;) Does too. Who do you think invented Muons, Nutrinos and Tachyons?

That was nice. Mean would have involved mentioning your ava.:D

Maybe the prob is DD?

I'd advise coordinating your own dives in advance and not do it through the ship. I've seen some rather horrific divers on ship organized dives and they seem to consume virtually all of your time in port. Otherwise, you stand a good chance of being placed on the same trip as the divers being...

I've found that I prefer shore diving the BI more than any boat dive I've done on Maui, Kauai or Oahu.

Christ, just shoot me, now. Split fins are the scuba industry equivalent of the diet pill.

I'm not a member of this subgroup you yammer about, but I do dive and conduct OW in a Hog config. I also use a LiteHawk BCD when I'm in the pool and that is at least 8hrs/week. I have tested every jacket in the shop in the pool at least once. I put over 100 dives on a Black Diamond when I...

I think Haleamano has turned more divers to BP/W than Tobin.

Well, the story I heard was a cargo ship was turned back to port, resulting in delayed deliveries. The story came from our ScubaPro rep, which also has a lot of items on BO. Of course, that information is available when we place an order. The fact that you are only now receiving this info...

In all but a few cases, he's likely screwed and the kid will be scarred for life. That's why the kid's buddy needs to have his **** together.

If your husband has as strong a protective instinct as you, your son will be fine. If your husband is prone to putting his own needs before his child's, you may have cause for concern. I have withheld certs for a junior diver because I felt the parental unit was lacking or showed a disregard for...

I think you're going to need a bigger tank. ;) Welcome to SB, Brad.

As instructors, don't we have an obligation to our students to hold an informed opinion? What I see and what I've experienced can only be described as ignorance. You'll strangle yourself You'll confuse the students It's for tech only I've personally heard these comments made and in each those...

I was doing checkout a few weeks ago in pretty cold water: 35-39 degrees. I had to deal with several freeflows at depth, which was easily accomplished by passing of the LH, shutting down the tank and waiting for the reg to thaw. While we waited, we played rock paper scissors. I could see the...

I've been there and what I did was to dive my rig. I used a rental jacket for pool work, but have never used anything but BP/W and long hose for checkouts. The IT decided to audit one of my first classes and sat in on every session and every checkout dive. After our last pool session, I...

How do you know they were ordered? Unless backordered, such items have rarely been more than 5 days out. This is an issue that a good lds could have resolved by spotting defective materials before selling them to you or providing you a replacement when the defect was detected. These are the...

I'd recommend they read your posts for entertainment value, only.... Seriously You're like the Michael Savage of jackets.
